In 1866 the Prassacachi shipping firm won a legal dispute -- Bonnal vs. Prassachachi et al. -- that was widely reported. See: Journal du Palais (Paris), 1868, pp. 193-194; J-B. Sirey, Recueil général des lois et des arrêts : en matière civile, criminelle, commerciale et de droit public, 1869, pp. 18-19. In 1859 their involvement in another case had also drawn wide attention: a shipment of grain on the Austrian vessel Marizza was seized as it entered Marseille. See: La Press, 15 Jul 1859, p. 2.
